Today I read a paper titled “From the decoding of cortical activities to the control of a JACO robotic arm: a whole processing chain”
The abstract is:
This paper presents a complete processing chain for decoding intracranial data recorded in the cortex of a monkey and replicates the associated movements on a JACO robotic arm by Kinova
We developed specific modules inside the OpenViBE platform in order to build a Brain-Machine Interface able to read the data, compute the position of the robotic finger and send this position to the robotic arm
More pre- cisely, two client/server protocols have been tested to transfer the finger positions: VRPN and a light protocol based on TCP/IP sockets
According to the requested finger position, the server calls the associ- ated functions of an API by Kinova to move the fin- gers properly
Finally, we monitor the gap between the requested and actual fingers positions
This chain can be generalized to any movement of the arm or wrist
